Uplifting...

I could really use some uplifting right now...I can't talk about why, at this point, but man would I love to get it off my chest.

Anyway...I thought, maybe by overloading my site with gobs of photos of my kids, I'll find that smile that was once so quick to grace my face. I know it's there...it just needs a little more coaxing to come out!

I am here to tell you I honestly hope everything gets better. I had that week last week and NEEDED to blog it but I couldn't and still can't and it is so hard. It is no doubt the absolute HARDEST thing I, we, have ever gone through, as an individual, as a parent, as a family. It is something no parent (or child) should ever have to go through. I pray for things to smooth over for you. Keep your head up! It will get better!-April

Your children are all so cute! I am so sorry that you are having a hard time right now! I may not know what is bothering you but I will say this keep your head up and take it one step at a time. You will get through this, because you are a strong woman! I hope things get better for you soon. You are in my prayers!

My cousin warns me all the time not to sing, but maybe it's okay in the blogosphere since you really can't hear me! This is from Charlotte's Web: Chin up, chin up, everybody loves a happy face...Let a little sunshine in...dada dada da da, dada dada da da, up with your chinny-chin, chin up! Whew. I obviously don't remember all of the words, and that's probably just how I would have sung it, too! Nevertheless, you get the point, right? Great photos of all of your babes.

i tried to come up with something funny but could not. okay maybe one thing. today we took the kids to the aquarium and then the beach. we also made them listen to 6 of 9 hours of america, where it started. I heard my 10 year old say "what the hell" she heard it on this educational history dvd

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here: Halo Braid Tutorial! Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this:

Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story! And this story...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this:

You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. (Ahem...) Just keepin' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just interject here...sorry for …

About Me

As a thirtysomething mother of five, wife to Mr. Wonderful (does that make me Mrs. Wonderful by default?), I try to enjoy life to the fullest and appreciate every day. I'm proud that I define myself as a mother and a wife and that my career (I moonlight as a nurse) allows me to prioritize my life this way! I'll admit, mothering 5 is a challege, but the joy that it brings is worth all the heartache, chaos, stress and tears!!

Mr. Wonderful

My hunka hunka burnin' love!! Mr. Wonderful is "Most Likely to be Voted Husband of the Year". Seriously...the guy's amazing. He has an amazing work ethic, treats me like a queen and cherishes his children. He knows how I like my coffee and rarely balks when I need some girl time. He is an amazing man...and I am one lucky woman to have him!

The Pal

Our oldest child, "The Pal" has turned out to be a pretty amazing young man. Currently in college...GAH, COLLEGE!!! (how did this happen?!), he is his littlest sister's hero and makes his mama proud.

The Belle

E-Dubya (or E.W.)

Our second son, this boy fiercely loves his mama, is tender hearted, has the most amazing infectious laugh, is a hard worker, and an even harder player!

Hambone

Our "baby boy", Hambone is goofy, sometimes aloof, entirely his own person, and a miniature copy of his dad. His one-liners leave us laughing non stop. Comedic relief...at it's cutest!

Baby Girl

Our babe, she is a force to be reckoned with! So unlike her brothers and sister, she is incredibly strong willed, independent, and stubborn. She loves to check the cows with daddy and loathes shopping with her mama. She will most likely be found with a dirty face and sticky hair...
